In
God and Sex, Coogan examines one of the most controversial aspects of the Hebrew Scripture: What the Old Testament really says about sex, and how contemporary understanding of those writings is frequently misunderstood or misrepresented. In the engaging and witty voice generations of students have appreciated, Coogan explores the language and social world of the Bible, showing how much innuendo and euphemism is at play, and illuminating the sexuality of biblical figures as well as God.

This book is a direct result of requests, appeals, and pleas of "You two need to write this stuff down!" from male and female friends, co-workers, and relatives who have listened to Michael Coogan and William Burton discuss their experiences, hilarious stories, advice, philosophies, and epiphanies about the relationships between women and men.
